“Yes!” Clark grinned, immediately placing his hand on her waist and pulling her into the fray of writhing bodies on the dance floor.
Alden had his eyes glued on Luisa, feeling his body warm as he watched the way she swayed to the beat.
She really seemed to be having fun, and he felt so damn tempted to walk onto the dance floor and dance with her, but he was afraid that she would be rude to him again like the last time at her office. He had to force himself to continue sitting.
Kris’s gaze darkened even more as he watched how Thalassa had allowed Clark to hold her close to him while they danced.
Alden noticed his dark gaze and let out an amused chuckle. Why are you looking at Clark like you want to kill him? They’re just dancing.‘
“Just dancing?” Henry scoffed. “Isn’t she supposed to be with Zeke Mathews? So why is she allowing another man to dance so intimately with her? How much cheaper can she be?”
Alden glared at him. “You know, sometimes it’s better to just keep your thoughts to yourself if you have nothing sensible to say, Henry.”
“Oh please. You know I’m not lying. She jumped into Zeke Mathews‘ arms immediately after her divorce with Kris, and now she’s flirting with Clark even though she’s still with Zeke Mathews. Which decent woman does that?”
Kris was getting even more irritated, turning his heated eyes to Henry. “Shut up right now, Henry. You have no right to speak about her that way.”
Henry was taken aback, looking offended. “Why do you always defend that woman even after everything she has done to you?” (1
Fuming, Kris didn’t reply as he returned his solemn gaze to Thalassa and Clark who were still dancing and laughing as they did. Every other second, Thalassa’s eyes would fall in his direction, as if she was trying to see his
reaction.
Why did he feel like she was dancing so intimately with Clark Morgan just to irritate him?
“She’s doing it to bother me,” he said under his breath, but Alden heard him.
“You mean dancing with him.” Alden frowned slightly, though amusement glimmered in his eyes. “Why would it bother you that she’s dancing with another man, Kris?”
“It doesn’t bother me,” Kris hissed. “I only said she’s doing it to bother me.”
Despite his words, Kris felt a strong urge to storm onto the dance floor and pull her away from Clark, and it was all he could do to stop himself.
What was wrong with him?
On the dance floor, Thalassa was flustered after dancing for several minutes. Clark had been telling the truth when he claimed his dancing skills had gone rusty because it took a lot of lessons before he could get his moves right again.
Because of that, she’d ignored the pressure in her abdomen but now she couldn’t ignore it anymore.
“Sorry, but I need to visit the ladies‘ room.”

“Oh,” Clark said with disappointment since he was enjoying himself so much, but he freed her anyway. “Don’t take too long.”
Nodding, she informed Luisa before making her way through the dancing bodies to the washroom. There was no one inside when she entered.
She made her way into one of the stalls, did her business, and came out to wash her hands. Done drying her hands with the air dryer, she was just about to walk out of the washroom when the door suddenly opened, and the last person she expected or wanted to talk to walked inside.
“In case you’re beginning to go blind, the sign plastered on the door clearly shows that this is the ladies‘ room.” She sneered, feeling her defences rising.
With a stormy look on his face, Kris stormed towards her, and before she knew it, her back was pressed against the cold, tiled wall, his body pressing against hers to keep her steady.
“Why were you dancing like that with Clark Morgan? To get a reaction out of me?” He demanded, his eyes searing into hers, his mouth so close that she could feel his heated breath on her lips.
